I feel pride in saying that I m residing in Palani since 1991.It is believed to be a mystical place and the proof lies in front of the eyes when people from various place come for having a glance at the infant lord.In India ,the revenue of Palani is next to the Thirupathi temple and the Guruvayurappan temple.
The legend tells that the statue of the God was made by NAVABASHANAM by the sage Bohar.Later the temple was raised by the Chera kings.Then Chola kings too showed their skills in designing it.
Addition to the pilgrimage place,Palani has other importance too.Its near the Kodaikanal hills and so recieves the Kodakanal climate.There are industries that manufacture famous Panchamirtham.The town is crowded especially during the tamil months of Thai,Karthigai and Panguni.
Located at a distance of 60 km from Dindigul, Palani Hills are of great religious importance for Hindus. The major attraction of the hills is a temple, dedicated to Lord Subramanya. The temple is situated on top of a hill, reached by a flight of 659 steps. It is one of the six abodes of Lord Muruga and devotees from across the country visit the place in huge numbers. The famous shrine called 'Aavinankudi' located at the foot of the hill.
The temple at Palani is an ancient one, situated at an elevation of 1500 feet above sea level from where one can take a look at the Idumban Hill, the Kodaikanal Hills, the Western Ghats, the greenery of the paddy fields, rivers, tanks, Palani town and the colleges. On beautiful, clear and mist-free day, the Kurinci Andavar Temple is visible from here. In daytime, Palani hill is very beautiful; at night, it is stunning.
In Tamilnadu, Palani is the only place where rope cars and winches are available.And it is the only temple with golden tower.
